Located at the Midwest Historical and Genealogical Society in Wichita, Kansas.

   HUGH L. HOLLAND, a general farmer and stock-raiser, of Garden Plain Township, and located on section 16, was born in Cocke County, Tenn., Dec. 12, 1834, and is the son of James C. and Margaret (Runyan) Holland, the former born in Virginia, May 20, 1794, and the latter in Sevier County, Tenn., Nov. 24, 1799.

    The father of our subject served as a private in Col. Sam Bunder's regiment in the War of 1812, and on account of his gallant services received a pension afterward of $96 per year.  The parents were married in Tennessee, Oct. 16, 1814, the mother being then but fifteen years of age.  They had a family of thirteen children, twelve of whom grew to mature years, but only three are now living:  Mary married George W. Ebbs, and died leaving a family of children;  Wesley died in infancy;  Frances S. married William Smart, and both are now deceased, together with their children; John served under Gen. Taylor in the Mexican War, was married, and also died, leaving children; Elizabeth died in infancy; Jane married John M. Burnett, and is the mother of seven children; they live in Clay County, Mo.  Aaron served in the Confederate army, and died leaving five children; Deborah, Mrs. Spencer Faubion, died leaving no children; Hugh L., of our sketch, was the next in order of birth; Margaret became the second wife of Spencer Faubion, and died leaving three children; James K. Polk served in the Confederate army, and is now living in Clay County, Mo.; Esther Ann died when eighteen years old, and Emma at fifteen.  The parents are still living, and residents of Clay
County, Mo.

    The father of our subject served as Justice of the Peace in Tennessee for a long term of years, and during the time his county was greatly in debt, he was elected County Judge, and served without any salary, in order to assist in the liquidation of this debt, paying his own expenses besides.  He was Class-Leader in the Methodist Episcopal Church for a period of forty years.

    Our subject was reared on the farm, receiving a very limited education until after his father moved to Missouri, which was in 1854, and when Hugh L. was twenty-three or twenty-four years old.  He then attended school a term or two, and by improving his leisure time in reading has managed to pick up considerable knowledge.  Soon after the outbreak of the Rebellion he enlisted in the 1st Missouri Cavalry, C.S.A.,  and served until the close of the war, participating in the battles of Oak Hill, Carthage, Champion Hill and Big Black River.  At the latter place he was hit seven times by balls from the enemy, three of which wounded him seriously, one going through his shoulder blade.  He was not entirely disabled, however, but lived to go through the Atlanta campaign.

    While the war was in progress Mr. Holland was married to Mrs. Judith (Wise) Holliday, a distant connection of Gov. Wise, of Virginia.  Of this union there are now four children living, namely:  James Polk, Helen M., Margaret, Mrs. Frank Wilbur, and Frank T.  All are living in Wichita.  The wife and mother died Sept. 22, 1870, in Hinds County, Miss., where they had met, and where they lived after the close of the war.

(pg 1119)
    Mr. Holland contracted a second marriage, Oct. 3, 1872, with Miss Cora Wise, a sister of his first wife.  They were daughters of Weldon and Edna (Wise) Wise, both natives of Georgia, the father born Oct. 26, 1804, and the mother in April, 1808.  The former was a Captain of militia.  Mrs. Cora Holland was born in Hinds County, Miss., Jan. 21, 1846, and was the tenth in a family of twelve children.

    Mr. Holland after the death of his first wife took up his residence in Missouri upon land which he had purchased as early as 1857.  He was a resident of Kansas during the border war, owning land there also.  In the battle of Dry Wood he was taken prisoner, and held about six weeks, when he bribed the sentinel and got away.  After his second marriage he lived in Clay County, Mo., until 1879, when he moved to his present home, buying 160 acres of school land.  Upon this he has erected a commodious frame dwelling, and has brought his land to a fine state of cultivation.  Of his second marriage there have been born seven children, namely:  Louis P., Hugh P., Tilden L., Elna, Maude, Clarence, and Cora R.  Maude died in November, 1882, when about six months old, and Clarence  also died in infancy the following year.

    Mr. Holland votes the straight Democratic ticket, but has never been an office-seeker, preferring to give his time and attention to his personal affairs.  His estimable wife is a member in good standing of the Baptist Church.
